Free National Movement

The Free National Movement (FNM) is a conservative political party in the Bahamas that was founded in 1971 by Cecil Wallace Whitfield. The FNM split from the Progressive Liberal Party, and it governed from 1992 to 2002, from 2007 to 2012, and from 2017. The party oversaw the privatization of government-owned hotels, the ending of the government's broadcast monopoly, the introduction of local government, and inward investment to help the economy grow.
